England manager Thomas Tuchel is considering having his substitutes stay indoors during World Cup matches in 2026 due to the risks posed by high temperatures.

Tuchel revealed this on the eve of the World Cup draw, where he expressed concerns over the tournament's schedule and its potential impact on teams and players. He mentioned that recent club World Cup games had drawn criticism from players and managers over the extreme heat conditions.

According to Tuchel, England will be in pot one for the draw, giving them the option of playing a team before the semi-finals if all four seeded teams advance successfully. Tuchel is hoping to name a squad where nobody wants to face England during the tournament.

In preparation for the World Cup, England manager Thomas Tuchel is keen on selecting players he knows will be beneficial to his team, while minimizing the impact of high temperatures and heat stress conditions. The Three Lions are set to play friendly matches before their World Cup debut in June 2026.

Tuchel admits that it's difficult to determine who exactly will make England's World Cup squad but is sure about selecting players who have been trustworthy throughout his tenure thus far.
 
Ugh, heat stress on the pitch? That sounds like a recipe for disaster 🤕. I mean, can you blame Tuchel for being cautious? Those games in Qatar were absolute sauna sessions and I'm surprised nobody got seriously hurt. It's not just about England, either - all teams should be worried about the risks of heat exhaustion during those intense matches ⏰. And what's with the schedule anyway? It's like they're trying to cram as much action into a short period as possible 🤯. I'm actually kinda rooting for the substitutes staying indoors just so we can have some normal footballing conditions for once 😩
 
🌞 Can you imagine having a team full of superstars and then they're gonna be stuck in the oven during the World Cup? I feel for Tuchel, he wants to protect his players from heat stress but at the same time, it's not fair to the other teams either. It's just a crazy situation... maybe they should have a heat break or something? 🤔
 
🤔 I think this is a fair point from Tuchel, especially considering the extreme heat conditions we've seen in some recent club games... like the City vs Real Madrid game last month 😷 where players were literally dripping with sweat! 🏈

I mean, can you imagine having to run around in that kind of heat for 90 minutes? It's not exactly ideal for your performance or your safety. And it's not just about the players, either - the coaches and staff are affected too.

But at the same time... I get what Tuchel is saying. You want to minimize risks, but you also don't want to be too cautious. Do you want to be playing teams in the early rounds so you can get some valuable experience before the semi-finals? 🤷‍♂️

I think it's all about finding that balance... and getting the right players on the team who are going to perform well under pressure. 💡
 
I'm worried about the heat during the next World Cup 🏟️😓. I mean, our kids play soccer in the summer and they're already hot and tired after just 30 minutes. Can you imagine being on the pitch for hours? It's crazy to think that some of these players might not be able to perform at their best due to heat exhaustion 💦.

I think it's great that Tuchel is considering having his subs stay indoors during matches, though 🤔. That would definitely make a difference. And I hope they can come up with a way to regulate the temperature during the games or at least have some air-conditioned areas for the players to cool off in ☀️.

It's also good that Tuchel is focusing on selecting players who are trustworthy and will benefit his team, rather than trying to include as many big-name players as possible 🙏. That way, he can build a solid squad that actually has a chance of winning the tournament. Fingers crossed for England! 🦁
 
I'm thinking, why not? 🤔 I mean, think about it, if the subs stay indoors during matches, they'll at least be safe from the heat and can focus on making a difference in the game without worrying about dehydration or heat exhaustion 😬. Plus, it's all about minimizing risks, right? And who knows, maybe this is an opportunity to showcase some of England's talented youngsters in a more controlled environment 🌟. Tuchel's got this, I'm sure he'll make the best decisions for his team and they'll do just fine! 💪
 
⚽️ I feel for the players, super heat stress can be a real thing 🌡️. If Tuchel wants to minimize the risk, having subs stay indoors during games isn't too crazy of an idea. Not saying it's gonna solve everything tho, but at least teams could have some control over their environment 💡
 
🐈💡 I don't get why they can't just use some kind of cooling system or something in the stadiums? Like, teams are already getting heat stress from playing games in the first place, so it's not like it's going to make a huge difference if the substitutes have to stay indoors... 🤔 Wouldn't that be more of a problem for the players who actually get to play on the field? 🏟️ And I'm curious, what kind of heat stress are we talking about here? Is it like, really extreme temperatures or just humidity levels? 🌡️
 
I feel bad for the guys playing all those intense matches under super hot conditions! 🤕🏟️ Like, can't they just give them a break or something? I know Thomas Tuchel is trying to protect his team's health and all, but it's still gonna be tough on 'em. The heat stress thing sounds legit though... I've heard of players getting pretty dehydrated and stuff in those extreme conditions. 🌡️ Maybe they should just play some indoor friendlies or something before the big tournament? That way everyone can stay safe and perform at their best. Fingers crossed England makes it to the finals! 😊🇬🇧
 
Man, heat stress is real! 🤯 I remember playing some matches in the middle of summer and it was like running through a furnace 🔥. Can't say I blame Tuchel for wanting to minimize that risk. It's not just about players' health but also their performance on the pitch. 🏟️ The heat conditions at the World Cup will be crazy! 💥 Have you seen the temperatures in some of those stadiums? Like, 40 degrees Celsius?! 😲 That's not even the heat, it's like a sauna in there. Hope they figure out a way to keep players safe and cool during the tournament 🌞
 
You know, I think this is a total game-changer for the World Cup 🤯. Like, Tuchel's on top of things, making moves to protect his team from the heat – that's so cool. It shows he cares about their well-being, not just winning. And can you imagine how grueling it would be to play those high-intensity matches in scorching temperatures? I'm all for Tuchel taking these precautions to ensure everyone stays safe and healthy 💦.

It's also super smart of him to try and minimize the impact of heat stress on his team. That way, they can focus on playing their best football without worrying about dehydration or heat exhaustion 🏃‍♂️. And I'm loving how he's choosing players who've been reliable under his management – it's all about building a strong squad, you know? 👍
 
I feel for the guys playing in the World Cup next year 🤕, especially with this crazy heat wave they're gonna face 🌡️. Thomas Tuchel's idea of keeping subs indoors during matches sounds like a good one to me 🙏. I mean, players should be prioritized over the thrill of being on the pitch and the crowd 😅. But at the same time, it's not all about playing in A/C - they need to get used to that heat if they wanna make it to the semis 🌴. England's got a good squad, fingers crossed for 'em! 💪
 
I don't get why they're even worried about the heat 🤔. I mean, they should be used to playing in hot conditions by now? It's not like it's a new thing for them or anything... They just need to make sure their subs are hydrated and comfy, no biggie 😂. And can we please talk about how this is gonna affect the whole 'squad morale' thing? I mean, if they're stuck inside while everyone else is out playing, that's not exactly what you'd call a team-building experience 🤦‍♂️. Just saying...
 
I'm so down for a team that prioritizes player safety! I mean, heat stress can be super serious, and if the manager is willing to take measures to prevent it, that's a win-win 🙌🏻💦. Like, yeah, players should be able to focus on playing their best game without worrying about overheating during the match 🔥. England has some awesome players, and I'm sure they'll do great in this World Cup! Fingers crossed for Thomas Tuchel's team 😊
 
can u believe tuchel's considering keeping subs cooped up indoors because of the heat? like, i get it, safety first and all that 🙏, but isn't that kinda defeating the spirit of the tournament? the whole point is to play in front of a crowd and give it your all. what's next, playing games in air-conditioned bubbles? 😂
 
I gotta say, I'm kinda down with this idea of having subs stay indoors during World Cup matches 🤔. Like, can't we prioritize player safety over the whole 'competitive edge' thing? High temps are no joke, especially for those who aren't used to it 💦. Tuchel's got a point, the club World Cup games were pretty harsh on players and managers alike 😩. England should definitely consider this, especially if they're gonna be playing in the hot sun for an extended period 🔥. It's not about being uncompetitive or anything like that, it's just basic human care 🤝.
 
I'm not buying this heat excuse 😒. Teams play in extreme temperatures before and during tournaments, so why should the 2026 World Cup be any different? I mean, didn't all those clubs go through similar heat stress issues in their own tournaments?

And what's with the "no one wants to face England" strategy 🤔? Sounds like a desperate attempt to get an easy ride. How can you control who teams want to play against? That sounds like a load of nonsense.

Can we see some stats or research supporting this claim about heat stress and player performance? I'd love to see some hard evidence to back up Tuchel's concerns 📊. Otherwise, it just sounds like a bunch of manager-speak to me 🙄.
 
🌡️ I totally get why Tuchel would wanna protect his subs from the heat, especially with all those recent club games getting slammed for being way too hot! Players & managers alike are saying it's a real concern and safety should be their number one priority 💯. Plus, with England in pot one, they've got a sweet spot to seed themselves for the draw 🎉. I reckon his strategy to pick players who know he can count on them is sound too... gotta prioritize team cohesion over high temp worries ⏰! Can't wait to see how the World Cup squad takes shape 👀
 
🔥 I mean, can you blame him though? High temps during a World Cup match are just crazy talk! Players are already putting their bodies through so much stress and strain on the pitch, do we really need to throw in heat exhaustion too? 😩 It's like, come on, FIFA and the teams are supposed to be professionals, right? We're not gonna see any of these poor buggers melting down on live TV or anything... that'd just be a disaster 🤯. Tuchel is trying to protect his players' health here, so I gotta respect that 💯, but at the same time, it's like, what if we don't get to play as many games as we want? Will that really make us stronger in the end or what? 🤔
